Whatever may be thought of Lord DERBY'S good-humoured onslaught upon the Government —and it must certainly be allowed to have lacked nothin g at all in the way either of vigour or vivacity—whateve r may be the im pression caused by Lord RUSSELL'S sarcastic retaliation—it will assuredly be allowed on all hands that, last evening, both Mr. DISRAELI and Lord PALMERSTON were at their very best. Houses so densely crowded, at such ar early hour, upon the first day of the session, we cannot very readily recall to mind. Immediately after the new peers and the new members had respectively taken their oaths and their seats—eight new peers, it will he cbserved, and a dozen new members (conspicuous :among the newly sworn-in Peers, being the late Earl of MULGRIVE, now second Marquess of NORMANEY, cots the late Mr. MONCRTON MILNES, now first aron HOUGHTON conspicuous among the new members of tLe House of Commons, king just no one in. particular !)—searcely had this preliminary basiness of the first sitting of the Houses been duly go r through, when it became perceptible at a gi • more especially in the R euse of Commons, that , that the Government and the Opposition benches were alike crowded from the front row until far back under the shadow of the galleries. In each House the debates commenced alm ost simulta• neously. For, while the Lords did not meet again, after the opening of Parliament in the afternoon, until about five o'clock, the Commons, although meeting at four p.m., consumed very nearly one hour with a dawdling delivering-in of notices of motion. Nearly, therefore, we say, at about the Arne time, the opening Discussions of the cession— the discussions upon the Royal Speech and the Loyal Addresses commenced. The proposers and seconders of the Addresses, arrayed—according to the ridiculous etiquette of the Legislature in gold laced uniforms of some kind or another, one as a Rifle Volunteer, one as an officer of Yeomanry, one as a deputy lieutenant of a county, together so many doomed oratorical Men in Buckram—had, as usual, to bear the brunt of inaugurating the debates of the year. Happily, perhaps, in one respect, (though unhappily beyond all doubt in another, see ing that they were dreadfully long-winded) the the Marquess of -SLIGO and Lord ABERCROMBIE were nearly inaudible, even in the body of the House of Peers. While—in the Commons— if the modest harangue of Lord RICHARD G EOSVENOR were (as it certainly was not) one jot better than a mere schoolboy oration, the speech of Mr. GOSCHEN, the new member for the City of London, unquestionably rose, before its conclu sion, to a level of considerable excellence. It was throughout a manly, straight-forward, well-consi dered address, and was delivered, all through, with very good effect, the immediate close of it, as just now hinted, telling admirably from its mere earnest- news. Therenpon,without further parley, came at once the Tug of War " with a will"—in the Lords between the Earl of DERBY and Earl RUSSELL, in the Com mons between Mr. DISRAELI and Lord PALMER sTON. Than the remarks of th© noble Earl the Leader of her MAJESTY'S Opposi tion, upon the meddling system upon which the Foreign Secretary appears to be bent upon vindicating, in the most inconsistent manner pos sible, the Procrustian policy of Non-Interven tion, none, sure:y, could have been more thoroughly exhilarating, because none could very well have been more genuinely humorous in their application 1— " Nihil intactutn reliquit,' " exclaimed Lord DERBY, quoting from Dr. JOHNSON'S epitaph on Dr. GOLDSMITH in the neighbouring Abbey, "'Nihil tetigit quod non' I cannot say ornavit,' but conturbavit.' (Laughter.) The policy of the noble earl, as illustrated by his app:i cation of the principle of non-intervention, may be given in two homely vernacular words, meddle and muddle.' (Laughter.) The course of the noble lord's correspondence in every difficulty that has arisen has been lecturing, scolding, blustering and re treating. (Cheers.) The policy of the Cabinet re minds me of another party of actors, who figure in the Midsummer Night's Dream,' The noble earl himself seems anxious to combine the parts of two members of that company—Bottom, the weaver, and Snug, the joiner. He is, like Bot tom the weaver, ambitious to play every part, not excepting that most satisfactorily played by Moon shine. Laughter.) But his favourite part is that of the Lion. He says, Let me play the Lion ; I will roar so that it _shall do a man's heart good ; so that men shall say, well roared the Lion.' (Laughter.) He knows also how to follow the other part of the example set him by Bottom—how to aggravate his voice like any slicking dove. (Renewed laughter.) He has had recourse also to that ingenious device mentioned by the dramatist,' Let not the andience be too much alarmed by the Lion, let us show them one side of my face under my skin, and let us say I am no Lion at all, but only Bottom the weaver.' (Roars of laughter.)" Lord RUSSELL'S characteristic return in kind, for which hard bitting—when Ms time came in due course for the indulgence of a little tart and smart telling, if not actually quelling retaliation —was, it will be perceived, this eminently terse, almost witty, rejoinder as the very first sentence of his harangue in reply The noble earl hts borrowed his wit from his memory and his facts from his imagination." It is true that we happen to have Leard something exceedingly like that before. Bat let that pass, for we want to turn:our remarks now, for some brief while at least, to the Two Speeches last night in the Housetaf Commons, the speech of Mr. DISRAELI and the speech of Lord PALMERSTON. As bold, outspoken harangues inaugurative of the Debates of the Session, they were worthy in every way of the two great statesmen. We hardly remember when either the noble lord the Prime Minister, or his formidable assailant the right hon. gentleman the leader of the Opposition, has begun the struggle of a session with more energy and animation. The very tone of voice, the mere personal bearing of Mr. DISRAELI appeared to indicate his determination to enact his part, whatever it may turn out to be, this year moat energetically. And this—unusually for him (the exordium of a speech of Mr. DISItAELI'S, being ordinarily delivered almost, one might say, sotto voce, with suppressed power and studied deliberation)—this ringing voice and trenchant accentuation of his words, being noticeable yesterday in the right hon. gentleman's remarks at the very outset, in his very open ing sentences. Ex. gr. his introductory reference to the Royal Speech, as appearing to him to be " a document not addressed to the time in which we live, and bearing no due relation to the circum stancee of the day "—a document of which he said afterwards, "If it were not for one paragraph, i❑ which an appeal is made to the unaffected loyalty of the nation by reminding na of the birth of an heir to the Prince of Wales, I really see no reason why it should not have been composed in any other year than A.D. 1864." Could anything, moreover, have been more completely, more intensely scii generis than Mr. DISRAELI'S comment upon one little result of Lord RUSSELL'S bewildering scheme of diplomacy, that namely, coming to light recently in Greece—"We all know that against fate you may guard, but no human sagacity can baffle the uncon scious maehinations of stupidity!" Again—when re ferring to the English Foreign Secretary's singularly curt and most irritating because most offensive rejec tion of the EMPEROR'S no doubt scarcely practica ble, but still humane and magnanimous project of a Great European Congress—the right hon. gentle man delivered himself thus admirably of his senti ments : " The position of the Emperor of the FRENCH," he said, "is peculiar. He has publicly, almost ostentatiously, proclaimed it to Europe, and therefore there is no in delicacy in referring to it—he has told you that he is not like the Emperor of AUSTRIA or the Emperor of RUSSTA. He does not stand upon tradition—he is not hedged in by the magic of prescriptive right. He has been create 3, and ein only be maintained, by the sympathies of his people—a proud, imperious, and discontented people. Humiliate the idol, and the worshippers are disquieted. A considerate ally might have remembered this. An ally who had encouraged the very policy which had involved the Emperor of the FRENCH—an ally who had been the par taker of his project, and fully shared his diplomatic discomfiture —such an ally ought not have received the proposition for a congress in a spirit of cynical criticism. I maintain that the natural language of diplomacy is conciliatory. I say that it is to be regretted that the Foreign Secretary of State did not find a happier medium for expression than a sneer." The perfect reasonableness of all which: who is there—saving only it may be some thick and thin apologist of the Minister —will for one instant venture to gainsay ? Caustic, however, though Mr. DISRAELI was last evening, as Mr. DISRAELI can be when he lists—Lord PAL-. MERSTON was still a match for him, even when his thrusts were seemingly the deadliest : and he was thus a match forhim, moreover, with the easy grace of an imperturbable bonbommie. Taunted with having no Policy and having no Allies, Lord PALMER STON'S reply was—if only for the mere manner of it , the scarcely perceptible shrug of the shoulders, the barely appreciable inflection of the voice—ex quisitely felicitous. Thus, when referring to the Schleswig - Holstein difficulty, when that difficulty gave indications of having reached a very climax of complication, quoth the veteran Premier last evening, "We, in con junction with France, Russia, and Sweden—we have no allies—(laughter)—we are entirely unsup ported by any one—(laughter)---but it so happens that, by some combination of circumstances or other, some Powers are acting with us—call this what you like —we, with France, Russia, and Sweden, have called on Prussia to wait till the the time necessary for assembling the Danish Parliament, to procure the revocation of the constitution." Again, a little later on, when alluding to another incident—" We made," he said " many applications to prevent this, but we had no policy.' (A laugh.) But it was done somehow or other. We made this proposal." The House, naturally, roaring with merriment at each of these good humoured rejoinders of the Prime Minister.i merriment equally contagious with the Opposition as with the Government ! Unpremeditated illus trations by the House of Commons, as one may say, of— " Laughter holding both its sides !" Such, altogether, were the salient points noticeable in regard to last evening's discussions in the Lords and Commons upon the occasion of the first sitting of Parliament this session. The drift of those discussions has not by one iota altered our view as,: expressed upon the instant in The Sun of yesterday, immediately after the delivery of the Royal Speech on the opening.of the Legislature—it has not altered, we repeat, by one iota our opinion as to the bewildering haziness of that Speech as a programme for the session, or as to the enigma tical character of the Policy of the Government, even if it should be proved in the end to have really any definable Policy whatever. The revelations made by the' Sanitary Inspector at Norwich respecting the condition of the dwel lings of our agricultural labourers are sufficient to startle the most incredulous or indifferent. As this gentleman boldly appends his name and address to the statistics which he furnishes, and as they re main unchallenged, there is no reasonable excuse for doubting his statements. In his official capacity he has naturally come into contact with many evils which might escape the notice of casual visitors, and it is certainly high time that these secrets should be dragged to the light of day, and public opinion brought to bear upon the matter. The miserable places which he now describes are, he tells us, to be found on the estates of noblemen and gentlemen of good position, who are ambitious of legislating for the nation while they are incapable of ruling their own property rightly. The evil, says Mr. CLARKE, abounds in both open mad close parishes, but the greater number of the instances he has now brought forward are taken from private estates. One of the cottages he has seen has one small, ill ventilated bed-room occu pied by eight persons ! No ventilation would suffice for such a Black Hole unless the windows were wide open thy and night. But our pleasant English villages abound with such Black Holes. Mr. CLARKE has seen one is which a man, his wife, and three daughters—the eldest 20—sleep in a room 1 ift. by loft. 4in. ; and another, from which the commonest conveniences are absent, where father and mother, five daughters, and two sons are compelled to sleep in one room. One place is de scribed as " an old clay hut with two chambers ;" another as " a clay hovel cracked and tumbling about in all directions inside and out ;" a third as " a wretched old hovel consisting of two low rooms." Well may Mr. CLARKE, as sanitary officer, speak of the ravages of fever among a population housed like this, crowded into miserable hovels entirely deficient in all sanitary arrangements, with crumb ling walls and often leaking roof. What are the landlords about ? Doubtless many of them will readily come forward with their donations to charities, their annual subscriptions to schools and asylums, regardless of the fact that they are making paupers and sufferers by the homes to which they are condemning their poorer tenants. Of such inconsistency, it may be said, without irreverence, " These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.' Those who clamour for the political rights of th e people had better first devote their energies to securing some recognition of their rights as civilised human beings. Such homes as those described above are a disgrace to any estate, and in their tendency to produce fever, to encourage epidemics, to lower the moral tone, and take away the self respect of the labouring classes, they surely bring in some degree their punishment. The misfortune is that that punishment falls heaviest on the inno cent party. It comes in broken health, dirt, and discomfort to the parents, and it opens the way to the direct temptations for the children. Decency and cleanliness and comfort are consulted in our pri sons; they should surely not be altogether impos sibilities in an honest working man's home. As a well-known writer has justly said, " To keep on an estate, not only the marketable value must be paid for its labour, but in that value must be included real decent homes. If this is not done, the labour of an estate, ever in a state of transition, will be one continued plague to the owner and the tenantry." This need of decent houses is greatly felt by the poor in Landon, where the rents are so high as to be a terrible drain on their scanty re sources. Miss BURDETT COUTTS, Mr. WATERLOW, and others, have endeavoured to mitigate the evil, and Mr. PEABODY'S munificent gift is being de voted to the same good cause. There are some points about the new houses built by the trustees of this fund, however, which might, we think, be modified with advantage, if the object is to benefit those most in need of help, The rents are above the reach of the struggling poor who can hardly keep their heads above water. Yet they more than others need decent and well-kept homes to preserve them from sinking into utter degradation. Again, some houses should surely be built out of this mag nificent fund which should be for the accommodation not of the respectable but of the most needy. It ie well, of course, to encourage respectability, but a well-to-do artisan, with a little furniture about him, can with no great difficulty get clean and respectable rooms, and it is for those sinking step by step, whose things have been perhaps taken for rent, or pledged for pressing need, that help is most wanted. Such persons are often refused admittance into decent apartments and are driven to low alleys, and dis reputable courts, in which they soon become absorbed into the mass of dirty and disorderly inhabitants. The return becomes next to impos sible, and habits of drunkenness and pauperism are confirmed by their reckless associates; the children play with the unkempt and ill-taught ragamuffins round them, until they too add to the , list of the new generation of our dangerous classes. In London, as in the provinces, there is much to do, but while we must look mainly to private benevolence for the one, we must hope that public inquiry wili do something for the other. Among all the varying topics that will be brought before the reassembled Parliament, this should surely not be overlooked. It concerns the welfare of a great body of the people whom they represent. It will not be difficult to obtain full particulars on the subject. Mr. CLARKE in his letter offers to furnish com plete details to a Parliamentary Committee, and we trust he will be taken at his word. At any rate the session should not be suffered to close without something having been done to mitigate a very serious evil, and to remove what is in the present state of things a national disgrace. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LREIJTER'S TELEGRAMS.] AIISTRTAN LOSS IN THE ATTACK UPON JAGEL, RENDSBURG, FEB. 5. In the attack upon Jagel, tLe day before yester day, the Austrian Brigade Gondrecourt lost 400 men, with many superior officers. Two persons clamed Hardesvog and Blanefeld offered themselves as guides, but conducted the Prussian troops against the Austrians. Both parties fired into each other. THE MEXICAN QUESTION. The Moniteur of to-day publishes a correspon dence from Mexico, which contains an extract from a letter addressed by the Archduke Maximilian on the 4th November to General Almonte, stating that his resolution is well weighed. The advices also announce the departure of a fresh deputation commissioned to offer the Archduke the ratification by the provinces of the vote of the Assembly of Mexican Notables, which was the condition laid down by the Archduke for his acceptance of the Crown. The same authority holds out the prospect of the early adhesion of Generals Doblado, Crags, and Etchegaray to the new Empire. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 25. The Levant Herald of to-day says : "We have reason to believe that the Turkish Government has decided upon establishing at Con stantinople a distinct law court, in the form of a Tribunal of Arbitration, for the purpose of settling in an equitable manner all commercial disputes and d ifferences,w het her between the Porte and foreigners, or between Turkish subjects and foreigners resi dent in the Ottoman dominions. The court will consist of three members—an English barrister, and a French and a German advocate. We have heard the namesef three gentlemen who have been selected for this new judicial office; and we understand the salary of each has been fired at £1,200 a-year. This institution may, no doubt, be productive of great future benefit. It will save the Porte the frittering away of large sums in protracted wrangles about contracts; litigations on questions of personal, commercial, and inter national contention will be considerably shortened ; justice will be promptly administered, and both tte public and the Government will reap the benefit. The same paper contains the following : " A piece of intelligence has reached us in a letter from Tiflis, of the 4th inst., of more than usual in terest. Four Russian officers, endeavouring to penetrate into India, for the purpose, it is alleged, of joining the frontier tribes in insurrection there, have been arrested by order of the Khan of Bukhara, now imprisoned in the latter city. Trey were dis guised as travelling merchants; but some little in dications of costume and speech betraying their foreign origin, excited the suspicion of tbe Bokha ralees, and resulted in their apprehension. They then avowed who they were, and whit was their destination. The Emir, however, suspecting them of being spies, has detained them ; and the most active measures are being taken by the Governor of Auremberg, on instructions from St. Petersburg, to procure their release. We have this fact on undoubted authority. TIM SON, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEMNG, FEBRUARY 5, 1864 FRANCE.

(Before the Common Sergeant.) ASSAULTING A LADY IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. William Whitehead was found guilty of unlaw fully and indecently assaulting Mrs. Charlotte Richardson in a railway carriage. The learned Judge sentenced him to two months imprisonment in Newgate ; also to pay a fine of £25, and to find two securities in £lO9, and also to enter into his own recognisances for the same amount to keep the peace for 12 months. George Carlos was found guilty of maliciously destroying a ship on the high seas, and eenteneed to 10 years penal servitude. The trial of the Flowery Land mutineers was brought to a close yesterday. The jury found seven out of the eight arraigned guilty. Some of them made statements endeavouring to throw the blame on to their fellows. They were all sentenced to death. Mr. Mayhew, who is well known as a writer on the condition of the lower classes, and whose book on Germany we lately reviewed (says the Guardian), has been appointed consul at Copenhagen. It is to be hoped that be may form a more favourable opinion of the Scandinavians than he has of the Teutons. THE ITALIAN PLOT AGAINST THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.- - The judicial investi gation in the case is not yet completed, and the trial will probably not come on before the latter half of February. ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ALFRED.—His Royal Highness Prince Alfred met with a slight accident on Tuesday afternoon, while he was enjoying a game at rackets in the Racket Court, Rose-street, Edinburgh. One of the balls struck the Prince sharply on one of his eyes, which has since become bloodshot and swollen. The pain, which was severe at first, has now almost departed, and the Prince is expected to leave his apartments in a day or two. —Scotsman.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The committee for conducting the election of Mr. Francis K. Dumas for this borough have seen, with surprise, a report in the 3forning Star, of a meeting of the electors, held on Tuesday night at the Town Hall, wherein it is stated that a hear ing was refused both to Mr. Dumas and to the chairman. In justice to the elect , :rs present on the occasion, we beg to inform you that Mr. Dumas spoke for nearly an hour without meeting with greater inter ruption to his remarks than that caused by the usual passing applause or dissent. It is true that, at the end of that time, a mob, composed of draymen and grocer boys, rushed into the room, and behaved in so disorderly a manner that the respectable electors were obliged to leave. We remain, Sir, your most obedient servants, H. WILSON, Secretary to the Committee. Brighton, Feb. 3, 1864. To the Editor of the Sun. SIR,—As it would appear from your notice of The Court Itegister of the House of Commons in your paper of Thursday evening, that the option of inserting or omitting the " Armorial Bearings" of Hon. Members rests with the Editor, and that the " Arms" of Messrs. Bright, Mitchell, and Hodgson, were left out from some personal feeling, I beg to say that repeated applications were made to those gentlemen, but without success, excepting in the case of Mr. Bright, who informed me " that his opinions were too well known to need repetition in our volume, and as for Armorial Bearings,' he knew nothing whatever about them.'' As it is possible that your readers may infer from your remarks that the work is conducted upon party principles, in justice to myself, I trust you will give insertion to this.—l am, &c., EDITOR " COURT REGISTER." London, Feb. 5, 1864. - - [ The writer of the above, if he will take the trouble to look back at the remarks made by the reviewer in yesterday's Sun upon " The Court Register of the House of Commons," will perceive that no sort of allusion was there made to party feeling as having led to the omissions particularised. The omissions in queition were simply pointed out by the reviewer.—ED " SUN."] NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY, Mendelssohn's most popular work was selected by the managers of this society to do honour to his birthday, Wednesday, the 3d. His bust, adorned with flowers, was placed above the orchestra, but the large and attentive audience paid him a better compliment by the cordial welcome which they accorded to the repetition of his noble composition. The oratorio was well performed ; the • principal solos were allotted to Madame Rudersdorff, Miss Heywood, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Santley. Madame Rudersdorff is favourably known to the public, but Miss Heywood, who has not been so often heard, created a very favourable impression. Her rendering of the beautiful contralto air, " Oh, rest in the Lord," produced a unanimous encore, a compliment which was also accorded to the ever delightful trio, " Lift thine eyes," sung by the same lady, in conjunction with Madame Rull.ers dorff and Misss Annie Cox. Mr. Sims Reeves, who has only one solo of any importance, sang that one, " Then shall the righteous," with all that power and express;on which makes him so re markable an exponent of sacred music. Mr. Santley's fine bass voice was heard to full advan tage, especially in the fine bass solo, " Is not his word like a fire," which was warmly encored, a compliment also paid to " Then shall the righteous," although Mr. Sims Reeves, in accord ance with his well estab:ished rule, declined to re peat it. The choruses went well and steadily, and show considerable signs of improvement. We may particularly mention, "Thanks be to God," at the close of the first part. This society deserves in every way the support of the public, and Mr. Mar tin's efficient conducting produced the most satis factory results. MARKETS—This Day MARK-LANE.

The object is to grant advances upon all kinds of interests on lands, buildings, and approved securities, such as title and other deeds. The promoters refer to the advantages of an under taking of this description for Great Britain and Ireland, both to the company and the borrower. The capital required is £3,000,000, and the first issue is to consist of 10,000 shares of £lOO each. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66f, 30c. Firm. The position of the Stock Exchange Markets to day exhibits a more cheering aspect. There appears to be a general belief that England may yet be kept out of the entanglements of continental politics into which she has been so unhappily dragged. Pur chases have therefore been the order of the day, and the English Funds are per cent. better, Consols being 901 a for money, and 91 'a for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are also better at 94 a, Exch'-quer Bills 10s. to 4s. dis., and India 5 per Cents. 103-", 1041. In the Foreign Market an important rise has taken place in tne value of all the principal specu lative securities, and business is more active.

Caledonian have advanced £1 10a. ; North Western and Midland, XI ; Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Metropo litan, 1; and Great Eastern, Great Northern, and South Western, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without any material changes in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in moderate request at about former prices.
